Details: I am in a journalism class and I was assigned to write a story. I chose to ask an employee at the Starbucks on front street at the Barnes and Nobles bookstore. She told me a police report was filed and they were banned from the area. I was wondering if I could get that report, so that I can use it in my story for class. Any report(s) that were made from this Starbucks involving theft will work. The report will not be shared with anyone and it's only purpose is for my story.
